Zhangye Travel Guide
China
Zhangye is a city of around 100,000 people in north-western China. It operates on China Standard Time and is served by Zhangye Ganzhou Airport (YZY), the city’s listed airport for air arrivals.
Zhangye is inland rather than a coastal destination, and there are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres. Travellers should therefore look beyond the city’s immediate area for seaside scenery.
